Your stature was muscular,
yet, petit.
Your height five inches
over five feet.
You were a tower of kindness
and strengths
Your forgiveness stretched to
great lengths.
Words were not your forte.
You spoke only when you had
something to say.
Your laughter contagious of
skits outrageous.
When it came to confrontation
You appeased both sides.
With tactful consideration
hence, all would abide.
As a Father you instilled
virtues of merit.
As a spouse,you protected
"the Lady of the House."
Your unconditional love willed
heir apparent.
An incurable malady struck
you down.
You never complained,even when in
excruciating pain.
Your life ended early leaving behind
those who love you dearly.
Upon your wishes you rested into
the ground.
Though thirty years have past yet,
even to this day
In my mind and heart you will
always stay.
